which is why I like the "dev_whitelist*" variety. They have a value of
-7.5
(instead of that -100 sledgehammer) which is usually enough to get legit
mail thru but not enough to swamp out a major rules hit on real spam
(which happens to get issued by the people you're trying to protect).
EG:
def_whitelist_auth *@nih.gov
Interesting, but completely irrelevant here since we're talking about AWL and
*not* the normal whitelist rules. AWL scores are dynamic and can be either
positive or negative.
Yes but the OP's problem would *probably* be addressed by whitelisting the
senders rather than trying to ignore specific rules based on AWL, which
cannot at present be done.
